'Star Trek™' Forever Stamps Boldly Launched From FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE USPS: Mark Saunders Sept. 2, 2016 202.268.6524 [email protected] usps.com/news ‘Star Trek™’ Forever Stamps Boldly Launched from more than 31,000 Post Offices Today Dedication Ceremony Launches Star Trek: Mission New York WASHINGTON — Nearly 50 years to the day of the original airing of “Star Trek,” the U.S. Postal Service dedicated the Star Trek Forever stamps today at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The first-day-of-issue ceremony launched Star Trek: Mission New York, a three-day celebration that is expected to draw thousands of Star Trek fans. These stamps will “live long and prosper,” because as Forever stamps they are good for mailing a 1- ounce First-Class letter anytime in the future — regardless of star date. “Star Trek” fans are asked to share the news on social media using the hashtag #StarTrekForever. “The Postal Service is proud to commemorate ‘Star Trek’ on the eve of its 50th anniversary,” said Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan referring to the iconic television program’s Sept. 8, 1966, debut. “Star Trek’s intricate futuristic setting, multicultural cast and story lines touched on social issues and pushed past the boundaries of popular science fiction becoming a worldwide phenomenon.” Joining Brennan in dedicating the stamps were actor and humanitarian Walter Koenig, who portrayed U.S.S. Enterprise’s navigation officer Pavel Chekov in the series; NASA Deputy Director of Science for Communication Michelle Thaller; CBS Consumer Products Executive Vice President and General Manager Liz Kaloduer; and, U.S. Postal Service Chief Postal Inspector Guy Cottrell. “With the chaos in today’s world, hopefully the stamps and what they signify can inspire a better future for us all,” said Koenig. “’Star Trek’ gave us a universe that we could explore in our imagination,” said Thaller. “In this universe we pioneered not only new technology and new worlds, but — more importantly — new social rules and new definitions of tolerance and diversity. In Star Trek’s universe, we found better ways to be human.” The stamps, under license by CBS Consumer Products, showcase four digital illustrations inspired by classic elements of the television program: • The Starship Enterprise inside the outline of a Starfleet insignia against a gold background; • The silhouette of a crewman in a transporter against a red background; • The silhouette of the Enterprise from above against a green background; and, • The Enterprise inside the outline of the Vulcan salute (Spock’s iconic hand gesture) against a blue background. The words “SPACE… THE FINAL FRONTIER,” from Captain Kirk’s famous voice-over appears beneath the stamps against a background of stars. The stamp images were created by the design firm Heads of State of Philadelphia, PA, under the art direction of Antonio Alcalá of Alexandria, VA. “Star Trek” celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016. Born from the mind of Gene Roddenberry, the original “Star Trek” series aired for three seasons — a short run that belied the influence it would have for generations. The series also broke new ground in storytelling and cultural mores providing a progressive look at topics including race relations, global politics, the environment and more. It spawned five more television series and 13 feature films spanning the course of half a century. Beyond its impact on the entertainment landscape, “Star Trek” has also influenced our modern world by helping spark technological advancements such as the cell phone, universal translator, smart watch, tablet, sonogram and other inventions.

Centered on the interstellar voyages of the USS Enterprise, the prime-time television program's mission was “to boldly go where no man has gone before.” The idea for “Star Trek” came from the mind of writer and producer Gene Roddenberry. Born in Texas in 1921, Roddenberry penned scripts for several shows, including “Dragnet.” In the mid-1950s, he entered the TV world full-time and became a prolific writer. In the early 1960s, he created the military drama “The Lieutenant,” which aired for one season on NBC. As production on “The Lieutenant” wound down, Roddenberry was developing a program about a starship called the SS Yorktown and its crew. In his initial outline, Roddenberry compared Star Trek to the western action and adventure series “Wagon Train.” Several studios turned down the idea before Desilu, the production company founded by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, signed Roddenberry to a contract and began shopping “Star Trek” to the networks. NBC eventually agreed to finance a pilot episode. The production staff took great care in building the “Star Trek” universe, hiring notable science fiction authors to pen scripts and hiring a scientist as a technical advisor. Set designers devised both the exterior and interior of the Enterprise — which Roddenberry initially had named the Yorktown — and also gave it the registry number NCC-1701. Props such as the cell phone–like communicator and the tricorder, a handheld scanning computer, provided viewers a glimpse into the future. But no piece of fictional technology on Star Trek was as iconic as the transporter, which “beamed” characters from one place to another. Two Pilot Episodes The pilot was titled “The Cage,” and featured Captain Christopher Pike. However, in a highly unusual move, NBC commissioned a second pilot. The show was recast with the notable exception of Spock, a pointy-eared, supremely logical half-alien officer who hailed from the planet Vulcan. Captain Pike was replaced with Captain James T. Kirk. Roddenberry added a multicultural cast around him, including both Japanese helmsman Hikaru Sulu and Scottish Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. Communications officer Alden was the Enterprise’s first African-American crew member. The second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” focused on thwarting two crew members who accidentally acquired mysterious godlike powers. The title of the episode became part of Kirk’s famous introductory voice-over: “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” This time, the thoughtful but action-oriented story won over NBC, which commissioned the series for the 1966–67 television season. Communications officer Alden departed and Lieutenant Uhura came aboard as the new communications officer. The character was one of the first strong roles for an African- American woman in television history. Chief Medical Officer Leonard “Bones” McCoy also was added and fans warmed to him after he became the focal point of “The Man Trap,” the episode that served as the series premiere. During its run on NBC, “Star Trek” deftly combined action, adventure, drama, fantasy and allegory. An early episode, “Errand of Mercy,” about an escalating conflict between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, took on the Cold War. Other episodes alluded to the Vietnam War, the population explosion, the growing generation gap and race relations. (“Plato’s Stepchildren” featured TV's first high-profile scripted interracial kiss between Kirk and Uhura.) “Star Trek” was so globally influential that an article in the Soviet newspaper Pravda complained that the Enterprise’s international crew lacked a Russian. For the show’s second season, Roddenberry responded by introducing young Pavel Chekov. One of the show’s most beloved episodes, “The City on the Edge of Forever,” involved Kirk and Spock traveling back in time to America during the Depression. It won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, while the original teleplay won a Writers Guild of America Award.

  • Gene Roddenberry: the Star Trek Philosophy
    LIVING TREKISM – Database Gene Roddenberry: The Star Trek Philosophy "I think probably the most often asked question about the show is: ‘Why the Star Trek Phenomenon?’ And it could be an important question because you can ask: ‘How can a simple space opera with blinking lights and zap-guns and a goblin with pointy ears reach out and touch the hearts and minds of literally millions of people and become a cult in some cases?’ Obviously, what this means is, that television has incredible power. They’re saying that if Star Trek can do this, then perhaps another carefully calculated show could move people in other directions – as to keep selfish interest to creating other cults for selfish purposes – industrial cartels, political parties, governments. Ultimate power in this world, as you know, has always been one simple thing: the control and manipulation of minds. Fortunately, in the attempt however to manipulate people through any – so called Star Trek Formula – is doomed to failure, and I’ll tell you why in just a moment. First of all, our show did not reach and affect all these people because it was deep and great literature. Star Trek was not Ibsen or Shakespeare. To get a prime time show – network show – on the air and to keep it there, you must attract and hold a minimum of 18 million people every week. You have to do that in order to move people away from Gomer Pyle, Bonanza, Beverly Hill Billies and so on. And we tried to do this with entertainment, action, adventure, conflict and so on.

  • Star Trek and History
    Chapter 15 Who’s the Devil? Species Extinction and Environmentalist Thought in Star Trek Dolly Jørgensen Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical. Dr. Gillian Taylor: Whoever said the human race was logical? —Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , the inhabitants of twenty-third-century Earth learn all too well the price of their illogical behavior. By hunting the humpback whale to extinction in the twenty-first century, humankind had sealed its own fate. The humpbacks had been in communication with aliens in the twentieth century, but they had no descendants to reply to an alien probe visiting the planet two centuries later. Earth seemed to be on the verge of destruction, as the seemingly omnipotent probe demanded a reply. Luckily, the Enterprise crew saved the Earth inhabitants from a watery grave with the help of time travel, a biologist, nuclear fuel from a naval vessel, plexiglas, and two twentieth-century whales. Sometimes we think of science fiction as presenting escapist, made-up fantasy worlds. From its beginnings in the 1960s until the present, however, Star Trek has commented on contemporary social issues, establishing itself as part of a larger discourse on the state of the world.1 Contemporary environmental concerns are a major theme in Star Trek. In this chapter, we show how the portrayal of animal species’ extinction in the television shows and movies traces gradual changes in environmentalist thinking over the last forty-five years. Although species extinction could include the mass destruction of worlds and the extinction of peoples, like the loss of the Vulcans in the 2009 movie Star Trek or the civil war that wiped out the population of Cheron (TOS, “Let That Be Your 253 Last Battlefield”), the focus here is on creatures equivalent to animals rather than civilizations that are considered equivalent to humans.

  • Chapter Five Bibliographic Essay: Studying Star Trek
    Jessamyn Neuhaus http://geekypedagogy.com @GeekyPedagogy January 2019 Chapter Five Bibliographic Essay: Studying Star Trek Supplement to Chapter Five, “Practice,” of Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Intellectuals, Introverts, and Nerds Who Want to Be Effective Teachers (Morgantown: University of West Virginia Press, 2019) In Chapter Five of Geeky Pedagogy, I argue that “for people who care about student learning, here’s the best and worst news about effective teaching that you will ever hear: no matter who you are or what you teach, you can get better with practice. Nothing will improve our teaching and increase our students’ learning more than doing it, year after year, term after term, class after class, day after day” (146). I also conclude the book with a brief review of the four pedagogical practices described in the previous chapters, and note that “the more time we can spend just doing them, the better we’ll get at effective teaching and advancing our students’ learning” (148). The citations in Chapter Five are not lengthy and the chapter does not raise the need for additional citations from the scholarship on teaching and learning. There is, however, one area of scholarship that I would like to add to this book as a nod to my favorite geeky popular text: Star Trek (ST). ST is by no means a perfect franchise or fandom, yet crucial to its longevity is its ability to evolve, most notably in terms of diversifying popular presentations. To my mind, “infinite diversity in infinite combinations” will always be the most poetic, truest description of both a lived reality as well as a sociocultural ideal—as a teacher, as a nerd, and as a human being.

  • Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space”
    Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space” After Star Trek Catan was so well received, and as many of you asked us to take this joint venture of the two franchises Catan and Star Trek even further towards the “Final Frontier,” we thought long and hard about what kind of game expansion you would enjoy. As we knew that a lot of players liked our Catan Geographies™ maps so much, which take the whole Settlers of Catan experience towards a real map to put settlements in, we thought: Let us take Star Trek Catan into a “real” region of space to put our little NCC-1701 spaceships in. The crucial question was: Is there a region of space sufficiently “real” inside the Star Trek – The Original Series time period? After a bit of research, we discovered this wonderful map titled “The Explored Galaxy” over at the Memory Alpha wiki. As it turned out, this was “as real as it could get,” as it had been first shown hanging on a wall in none other than Captain James T. Kirk’s quarters in the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country motion picture (and subsequently in various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Every true Star Trek fan knows that this particular map depicts a lot of the known and beloved locations shown in The Original Series of the 60s, and some of those from The Animated Series of the 70s. We took great effort to investigate and cross-reference all these depicted celestial bodies with their respective episodes. © CATAN GmbH - Page 1 We then added a couple of planets that were not actually shown on this map but that we would really want to have in our game, and tried to pinpoint their locations according to mostly in-canon and sometimes semi-canon sources.

This was a great installment for the series, but I only gave three stars because Liparulo got too religious for a bit. While the family's religious preferences are clear in the first three books, in Timescape, the author includes an entire section where the brothers question their religion and discuss it with each other. While the boys are at the right age to start questioning these things, it was handled awkwardly. It seemed to be plopped in for no reason and pulled me out of the Dreamhouse This was a great installment for the series, but I only gave three stars because Liparulo got too religious for a bit. It seemed to be plopped in for no reason and pulled me out of the Dreamhouse world. It didn't seem to add anything to the story at all. Beyond that there are the usual complaints of Xander's immaturity and constant insubordination without consequence and the sexist way they all the men in the family treat the daughter. But those have not so far taken away from the good of the story too much. Hopefully the remaining two books will not include such weird proselytizing. Dec 15, LeeAnn rated it really liked it. So, one of the strange and amazing things about my library is that we don't always have every book in a series. In fact, sometimes we have just book one -- or in this case, just book four.
